Trump is asked about Wilbur Ross and fed workers:
"Local people know who they are, when they go for groceries and everything ... They will work along. I know banks are working along ... They know the people. They've been dealing with them for years. And they work along." Via ABC

(11,740 posts)The mortgage people "know the workers and have been dealing with them for years..." What does he think this is "It's a Wonderful Life" and the old Savings and Loan will let Martini slide on a mortgage payment because his money is in Bert's house and Bert's money is in Nick's?
Bunch of damn idiots. Look mortgage companies are not all horrible. They maybe will work with people but they are in the business of making money, and if you do not pay, then they charge late charges, fees, etc... you start falling behind and it can become very ugly very quickly. The grocery store? Sure, take your groceries, we know you are good for it! What the actual fuck? Sorry but, NO, you aren't going to get floated groceries, or your rent, and if you take out a loan, they are going to want proof you can pay it back and telling the bank that you are furloughed is not going to get you much, and going with any other agency willing to lend money to someone out of work is going to get you double or even triple digit interest.
Assholes.

trum translation above..."I didn't hear Wilbur but I did hear he really botched the talking point we agreed on about minimizing their work and taking out loans. Fed Workers are all Democrats you know? Even FBI and Border Patrol and everyone...yep...all D's."
